[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Like a bird _ _ _ [B] on a wire _ Like [E] a drunk in a midnight [A] choir
_ _ I [E] have tried _ in [B] my way [G#m] _ to [E] be free [A] _ _ [E] Like _ _ _ _ _ a worm _ on a [B] hook
_ Like [E]
a knight in an old [A]-fashioned book _ I [E]
have _ _ saved [B] all my _ ribbons [E] for thee
_ [A] _ And [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
if _ I _ _ _ _ _ _
have been _ unkind _ _ [A] I hope you _ will _ let _ _ _ _ it [B] go _ by
_ _ And _ _ _ [E] if _ _ _ _ _ I have been untrue _ _ Well, I [A] hope you know _ _ _ it _ [B] was _ [C#] not to [B] _ you
_ _ Like [E] a babe _
_ _ _ [B] _ stillborn _ _ _ [E] Like a _ beast with [A] its horn
_ I [E] have torn _ _ everyone _ [B] who reached [E] out to me
_ [A] _ But [E] _ _
_ _ _ I swear _ _ by this [B] song _ By [E] _
all that I have [A] done wrong
_ That [E] I will make _ it _ [B] Make it all up [E] to _
_ [A] you

_ I saw a _ man _ _ _ _ leaning on his _ _ _ crutch And [A] he said to _ me
_ _ _ Why _ [B] do you ask for so _ _ much? _ _
But I [E] saw a woman _ _ She was leaning in her door
_ And she [A] cried out to _ me _ Why _ _ [B] not _ ask for _ _ more?
_ Like [E] a bird _ on [B] a wire Like [E] a drunk in a midnight [A] _

_ _ [E] And by all that I have [A] done wrong That [E] I will make it
_ Make [B] it all [E] up to thee
